Water wont damage anything electrical as long as power is not going thro it, and its totally dry before putting power back on.
Its like if you spill coffee / coke on a keyboard, pull it out and submerge in warm water. After a day or two in the airing cupboard its fine.

There is a product on the market but can't remember what it's called, basically it's a plastic bag you put the item into and crystal change colour to let you know that all the water has been soaked up and it's safe to turn it back on.
It was reviewed on the gadget show and won top remarks
Sorry I can't remember the name but if you go to gadget show site you will find it on there
